Why All The Hate Toward The Patriots?

Once a team is caught cheating, that's it for me. I could care less if "there's some form of cheating going around on every team". Bottom line: you cheat, you suck. You do not deserve to field a team until all people involved are removed indefinitely from the team.

Same goes for the Redskins, btw.

Their cameraman got caught after the 1st quarter. I'm pretty sure the Jets would have won that game if the Pats didn't tape their 1st quarter signals. :yeahright

Also what's wrong with Brady yelling out his opinions at refs? At least he doesn't talk smack, throw temper tantrums, disrespect team mates (ex. Tomlinson snubbing Rivers), flick the finger at your own fans, or throw penalty flags into the stands. I love a quarter back with some fire in his belly.

That is my reason plus no one actually know how long they have been cheating since Belbitch has been coach them probably. If I told you that MJ & the Bulls cheated during there championship run you probably won't respect them either. That is the real reason behind them running up the scores on opponents because they got caught. I feel if the Pats told Goodell "Hey man we have been cheating for the last 7 years." he would go public with it for the sake of the NFL. They would lose plenty of money & sponsors probably.

52-7. Reason enough for me.

Ditto there man, what a bunch of fuck sticks. They all need to go back to elementary school and learn this over again....including the coaching staff. Funny thing about life, what goes around comes around and they will get thiers.

Man this is fun I never seen so many people worked up over a team playing like no other team. I'm cheering for the Pats because I think its funny how it ticks everyone of. Pats 16 and 0 so you Dolphins fans better stick those corks back in the bottle.

I like the Patriots. They are a TEAM. They play football the way it should be played. Starters playing special teams, defensive players getting in on offense and not just to block. Have you a heard a word out of Randy Moss since he has gone to New England? No, because it wouldn't be tolerated on that TEAM. The Jets and Fish have no chance to beat the Pats. The Giants will rest most of their starters so any chance that they will pull an upset is out of the question.

He's also getting plenty of catches and the team is winning.

It's when things go sour that he acts up. All is well when he's getting his catches.

Right, besides that pit stop in Oakland where he pouted his way out of town.

They wouldn't have acted like assholes if Merriman wouldn't act like an asshole in the first place by doing that stupid little dance everytime he gets a sack. Do you see any of the pats players doing that crap? Nope. SD looks like the assholes for bitching and showboating after they got beat.

I used to really, really respect the Pats. They are a well coached and run franchise. They are extremely successful on the field. But, for the very same reasons why I respect people such as Art Monk and Joe Gibbs, I despise guys like Belichick. Some people don't really care about character, but I do (that's not directed at you 12th man).

I didn't take it personally, and I totally understand the statement on the value of character.

But my thing is, I'm not too sure the Patriots are guilty of anything that hasn't been a part of the NFL culture for a long, long time.

As far as the character of the Pats? I'll say this - while they haven't done much to endear football fans to them, I can't really say they don't have character either.

Let me ask you this tough question. We all love Gibbs. But would you rather have a high character guy who isn't a good coach and has a losing record? Or would you rather have a guy who is terrible with the media, has a terrible personality, but wins?

I care about character. But some of the things Bill B. has been accused of is not a big deal to me.
